Test kits for water quality which brand is the best and most accurate, at a reasonable price. And are the 5 in one test strips any good.

Salifert are the best kits. Test strips are not nearly as accurate.

Test strips are crap. Get Salifert testkits for just about everything. http://www.salifert.com/

I use salifert but save your money on ammonia and nitrite tests. Just the indication of any is enough and any decent quality test can do that.
